gas companies for Winter Hill

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

I am planning to move into an apartment in Winter Hill, and I'm really looking forward to being so close to Davis. The place has gas heat, which we have to pay for. NStar says they provide both gas and electric service in Somerville, but it would only set up electric service for me at the new address.

NStar says they don't have time to respond to phone calls because they are so busy dealing with winter storms, so I don't know if they only provide gas service to West Somerville, and there's some other company that does Winter Hill. Or if they just can't imagine me as a gas customer, after so many years of only buying electricity from them. Or if there is actually a problem with the building I'm about to move into.

Any ideas?

I live in Ten Hills, so only a few blocks from Winter Hill. Our gas is provided by National Grid, though our electricity is provided by NStar.

Try National Grid? When we moved into West Somerville six years ago, our landlord told us that either NStar or Keyspan (now National Grid) could supply our gas/electricity. Turned out to be NStar, but maybe you're in a different zone.

Depending on where you live in Winter Hill, some of your utilities may be through Medford. We live right on the line, and it caused quite a bit of consternation getting our stuff hooked up until we realized that our street address is Somerville, but our utilities were Medford.

I live in Winter Hill and have gas through National Grid and electric through NStar.

I agree with the other posters here. Your gas is most likely from National Grid and electric is from NSTAR.

I think the gas and electric are actually separate companies -- we get separate physical bills. You may have to find the number for the gas company and call them directly rather than trying to set up both at once

I lived in Medford in the Winter Hill area and it was National Grid for both gas and electric, but different bills, different contact info. So even though it said "National Grid" on both, it really was handled like dealing with two different companies.

Winter Hill is near Davis Square? Well, I guess if you're comparing to Newton, or Nashua, or New York...
